Why set_line_height needs a policy

This tool modifies a design element's property (line height) but does not delete, execute external code, move money, or trigger irreversible destructive actions. The change is fully reversible by setting a different line height value. It falls squarely into the Write category as it creates or modifies data reversibly within the design file.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_line_height' and description 'Set the line height of a text node in Figma' indicate modification of a design property. This is a reversible change to a text formatting attribute within a Figma document.

POLICY

How to control set_line_height

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Claude Talk to Figma MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for set_line_height:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "set_line_height": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "set_line_height_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

set_line_height stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

FAQ

Questions about set_line_height

What does the set_line_height tool do? +

Set the line height of a text node in Figma. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Claude Talk to Figma MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on set_line_height? +

Register the Claude Talk to Figma MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_line_height: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Claude Talk to Figma MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is set_line_height? +

set_line_height is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit set_line_height? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_line_height rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block set_line_height completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for set_line_height. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides set_line_height? +

set_line_height is provided by the Claude Talk to Figma MCP server (arinspunk/claude-talk-to-figma-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
